<v Speaker 1>You know, that's crazy.

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 2>You definitely built a career in the catalog independent without

0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 2>major you know what I mean. And I respect that

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 2>that you went straight from the ground up when you

0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Like I understand what that means. What But how can

<v Speaker 2>you explain that to these guys like, you know what

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, not trying to get the major deal like

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 2>everybody doing, just knowing like I'm a better on myself

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 2>out the gate.

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 4>I just understood that Tom Tom Toms was changing. And

0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:46.840
<v Speaker 4>you know now now even even even a couple of

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 4>years ago, it was turning.

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 3>Into a viral thing.

0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 4>You gotta be viral, you gotta be a certain kind

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 4>of person to get to the next level. I just

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 4>wanted to stick with my guns. I wanted to stick

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 4>with what I know. I'm a student in the student

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 4>of the game. So the people who came with for

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.760
<v Speaker 4>me is who you know, I listened to it, who

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm interested in, So you know, it's one percent, like

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 4>one percent of us, it ain't too many. And I

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 4>just stuck with that, and I wanted to do what

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to do. I didn't really want to change

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 4>too much. Yeah, y'are gonna rock with it or not.

0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 2>That's a fact that you got classics like records like

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Forever do Me Die Rich connected with myself, the streets, everybody.

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.960
<v Speaker 2>I feel like there was just breakthrough records like what

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:32.560
<v Speaker 2>did you realize in your sound at that moment that

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 2>it was resonating?

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 1>But all bey, all holler.

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.560
<v Speaker 4>Just when I started connecting with other people like the

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.319
<v Speaker 4>Lucis and the Dirks and you know, where's Khalif for

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 4>two chains? You know, these these are like big names

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.760
<v Speaker 4>in the game. And once I was able to connect

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.320
<v Speaker 4>with them, I understood, like, oh nah, you know they're

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.679
<v Speaker 4>respecting the craft, you know what I mean. So this

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 4>shit it's bigger than ever, you know what I mean.

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 2>That's a fact. You definitely got a major, major connection.

0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Cause shout out Lucie when he came home. Man, I've

0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:00.120

<v Speaker 4>wanted he wanted them ones who you know. You know

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 4>how New York is. It's hard to push through in

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 4>New York and it always takes somebody from like out

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 4>of town to come swoop somebody from the town and

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 4>just you know, show the mother things and introduce you

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 4>to the audience. And he was one of them early,

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 4>you know what I mean, just coming to my hood

0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:20.839
<v Speaker 4>shooting videos supporting.

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:26.559
<v Speaker 1>So was there a specific record would you say, co sign.

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.199
<v Speaker 2>Or a moment like you know what I mean, and

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 2>anything that you felt like your name really rang in

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.040
<v Speaker 2>New York? Like what was that moment the way you

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 2>knew like, oh shit, they fuck with me in New York.

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 4>See, I can't even really pinpoint a record because I've

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:42.400
<v Speaker 4>always been like a body of.

0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Work, dude, you like, yo, you go hard.

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.760

<v Speaker 4>oh nah, you know my grind more than a record.

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.760
<v Speaker 4>And I love that about myself because you know, sometimes

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:56.679
<v Speaker 4>you might be in the spot and you you might

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 4>want to get a dj son to play, but you know,

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 4>everybody might not know it, but you had that crowd

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.320

0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 2>one thing I love about that.

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 1>You y'all new young niggas.

0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Y'all don't take it, don't You don't need that whole

0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 2>production to get a video done, y'all, Like, Yo, I

<v Speaker 1>Like that's dope, man.

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Like what you think of the impact of that, like

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 2>being that aggressive? You think music can come to that

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.520
<v Speaker 2>point where you think you have to be every day.

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.199
<v Speaker 1>That consistent. You think that's necessary in music?

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think it's necessary. I mean it depends on

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 4>what kind of artists you want to be. If you

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.600
<v Speaker 4>want to be viral, you you you recall for that,

0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.600

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 4>want to don't want to skip them steps.

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 3>You gotta be consistent.

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 4>You gotta build that base, You gotta make sure people

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.679
<v Speaker 4>fuck with you, and you just gotta be solid because people.

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.079
<v Speaker 4>I feel like nowadays people feel that shit though. You can't.

0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 4>You can't cap your way through the game.

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Hell no, man, there's too much real ship.

0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.560

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 3>Through this way way having it.

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Like working with artists like Davy shot out my god

0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Davis to another Harlem general, you know what I mean,

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.959
<v Speaker 2>being a part of that Harlem conversation now, like you

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, y'all like that. I feel like

<v Speaker 2>that conversation, like what does it feel like carrying that

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.760
<v Speaker 2>legacy from Harlem? Because like I said, it's a lot

0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:07.240
<v Speaker 2>of legendary shit came.

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Out of all of them. Now.

0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.560
<v Speaker 4>I feel amazing, you know, and no pressure, you know,

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 4>like for me, I just I just feel like my part,

0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:14.840
<v Speaker 4>my position in that is just to keep it as

0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.400
<v Speaker 4>solid as possible, you know, keep the name firm when

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 4>you speak on me. I don't want nothing goofy coming

0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.199
<v Speaker 4>behind it because of where I'm from. I'm representing that,

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.719
<v Speaker 4>I'm waving that flag. So I just want to make

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 4>sure with me when you when you speak on me,

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:29.120
<v Speaker 4>eight thing sturdy.

0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, like a lot of artists today, right they

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.360
<v Speaker 2>drop music like I would say, I put myself in

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 2>the shoes.

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I ain't gonna say nobody else I put myself.

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I never took the time to focus and pinpoint and

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 2>locking who exactly my audience or.

0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Fan base was. Like I said, it was no social

0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>media like you.

0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.240
<v Speaker 2>You put out music, people heard it, They showed up

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 2>to the shows, They showed up to the in stores.

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 1>If not, that was it. I didn't have no other

0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:58.560
<v Speaker 1>way to reach back out to this.

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.679
<v Speaker 2>Like an artist like yourself, Like you just said, Man,

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.840
<v Speaker 2>you got your core fan base, you know what they like?

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 2>How to cater to them the merch they want, the

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.800
<v Speaker 2>records they want? How is that for new artists even

0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:14.960
<v Speaker 2>building that up? What would you what advice would you

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 2>give to another young artist that's trying to capitalize off

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 2>his fan base.

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I would say, you gotta you gotta fuck

0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 4>with the people in learn the internet. You know, it

0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:26.800
<v Speaker 4>got to be a balance of both. I think some

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 4>people just base their career off the Internet, and you know,

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.400
<v Speaker 4>whatever I give the Internet is what you is what

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.199
<v Speaker 4>you get. But you gotta fuck with the people too.

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 4>You gotta touch the people. People gotta know you solace

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:37.360
<v Speaker 4>so they could support you, you know what I mean.

0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.679
<v Speaker 4>Like and I'm big on that. I'm big on I'm

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:41.560
<v Speaker 4>big on touching the people. You know, when I go

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.360
<v Speaker 4>to when I go to my parties and my shows,

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:45.880
<v Speaker 4>I try to, you know, get out to the crowd.

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 4>Might walk to the bathroom, you know, on purpose, might

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.480
<v Speaker 4>not even got to use the bathroom. But I just

0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 4>want to walk through. You know what, I see what's

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.240
<v Speaker 4>going on. You can really fuck with me. These people

0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 4>pay that money to come see you, so you know

0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.480
<v Speaker 4>everybody won't get the opportunity to get backstage. Right if

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 4>you could get out there and touch the people and

0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.400
<v Speaker 4>you know, fuck with them, they're gonna fuck with you back.

0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:05.000
<v Speaker 3>It's love out there.

0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.599
<v Speaker 2>Believe in that man life outside the velvet rope. Like

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm a firm believer. That's how I got a lot

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.880
<v Speaker 2>of connections. That's why, you know what I mean. I

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 2>feel like you meet them people that really fuck with

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.440
<v Speaker 2>you and you and you could tap into that culture,

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.400
<v Speaker 2>that city, that country, that state, wherever you at. You

0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying, and you need those boots on

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 2>the ground to tell you what the movement is and

0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:27.240
<v Speaker 2>a certain part of the life.

0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 4>Though you understand that though like I said, like shout

<v Speaker 4>chop it up with him, you know, not too long ago.

0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.400
<v Speaker 4>But he he say, this thing is the one percent.

0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 4>It's only one percent of us, that's right, you know

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.320
<v Speaker 4>what I mean. I just still sticking to the cold

0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 4>and not even though not even against the cold, because

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 4>I don't even want you know, I don't want to

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.560
<v Speaker 4>confuse the youngest like yo, the cold mean be a

0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.600
<v Speaker 4>gangster in the rook. It's just about being solid, you know,

0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.560
<v Speaker 4>the morals, values than principles, you know, showing up for yourself.

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:54.920
<v Speaker 2>That ain't here, that's going a lot of these young

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.640
<v Speaker 2>niggas don't even care about morals and principles. Man. They

<v Speaker 1>That's it.

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Ain't no morals, ain't no principles. And I feel like

0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 2>they just need guidance, man, because the ogs want to

0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.080

<v Speaker 2>Hear that gang back and you know what I mean.

0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.120

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:30.360
<v Speaker 2>the wrong path, you ain't OG.

0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:32.600

<v Speaker 1>Stupid old nigga.

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Because if you've been down them paths, and you're gonna

<v Speaker 2>send another nigga down them paths knowing what it leads to.

0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Ain't nothing o g about that. It is You're just

0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:46.800

<v Speaker 3>Ain't gonna lie. A lot of that, A lot of that.

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.720
<v Speaker 4>That's good that you know we even touched on the

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.400
<v Speaker 4>subject because you know, when people tap into these podcasts, they.

0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Need to hit us.

0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:58.240
<v Speaker 4>They need to get that game. You know a lot

0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.440
<v Speaker 4>of people ain't giving that. Giving that game. You know

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 4>it's coming from somebody that's credible and been through it.

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:03.760
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying.

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I would never stay young nigga down the path of

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.440
<v Speaker 2>no success or knowing it's only two results.

0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Man, you know what I mean, It's no wins, it's

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>only losses.

0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Like you know what I mean, Like it's so much

0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:17.880
<v Speaker 2>loss like even in the street, bro, Like it's a

0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:21.280
<v Speaker 2>lot of successful niggas who put pain in in the street.

0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.960
<v Speaker 2>But I bet you you act any successful gangster nigga

0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.640
<v Speaker 2>who really lived that life. I bet you the losses

0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 2>he took to be who he is, he'd give all

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 2>that shit back to be normal and get all his

0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:33.920
<v Speaker 2>homies back, you know what I mean.

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Like that's real shit, Like it's a lot of shit.

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 1>We go through. Niggas don't know, man, like fuck that.

0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.960
<v Speaker 2>But yo, like every independent artist hit moments with things,

0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, feel like they slowed down, like you know

0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:47.600
<v Speaker 2>what I mean, And it don't go as planned like

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 2>they panned out because you could put a plan on paper,

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 2>execute it, and the results don't come out as you

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 2>wanted them, as you hoped, you know what I mean.

0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 2>What's been the toughest stretch in the game.

0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:58.080
<v Speaker 1>You say for yourself?

0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:00.600
<v Speaker 4>I think I think, like I said, we was speaking

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.440
<v Speaker 4>like we was touching on earlier, just me sticking to

0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.040
<v Speaker 4>my guns. And you know, like time's changed, the game

0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.520
<v Speaker 4>get younger, you know what I mean, and you might

0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 4>somebody might come through with a record when you feel

0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:11.879
<v Speaker 4>like when you right there, when it's your time, somebody

0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 4>might come through with a record and then all the

0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.280
<v Speaker 4>attention shift that way. But you know, that shit built

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.639
<v Speaker 4>tough skin going through that shit, and you become who

0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.560
<v Speaker 4>you are. So I feel like, even when not happened,

0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:22.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm still who I am.

0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 1>That's right, you know what I mean.

0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 4>I still I still wake up they get it a bag.

0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 4>I still got my fan base that I built over

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.600
<v Speaker 4>the years, and man, this shit ain't never stopping.

0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:31.880
<v Speaker 3>We sit going up.

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I could relate to that because I dealt with it. Remember,

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:37.440
<v Speaker 2>I was the first artist on Rockefeller. There was nobody

0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:40.600
<v Speaker 2>else like Source Money. When did his own thing? Jazz O?

0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.399
<v Speaker 1>When did his own thing? And it was Jay and

0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:47.760
<v Speaker 1>it was me? And then here come Beanie Seguel and

0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.440
<v Speaker 1>everything changed. I hated the niggas.

0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.280
<v Speaker 2>I hated him, but it was motivation to make me like, wait,

0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I can't hate him to stay away and not work.

0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.959
<v Speaker 2>I gotta learn why, why he's so. I had to love,

0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:02.560
<v Speaker 2>so I went and studied with Seguel. I give him

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.840
<v Speaker 2>a lot of credit to the artist I became because

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:09.320
<v Speaker 2>I used the motivation of what he brought to fuel

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.480
<v Speaker 2>what I had. You know what I'm saying. So I

0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:14.160
<v Speaker 2>would never take that away. That nigga was super nice.

0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 2>So I know what you mean when the artists come

0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:19.480
<v Speaker 2>with that record and it feel like everything shifts that way,

0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.720
<v Speaker 2>but you're still right here. You can never lose motivation.

0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:24.680
<v Speaker 2>All you could do is be inspired.

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 3>And keep going with your ship.

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.000
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean, Yo, That's what I'm saying

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:34.400
<v Speaker 2>that things like this shit is like whatever I'm supposed

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:34.680
<v Speaker 2>to do.

0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:40.080
<v Speaker 4>And even look even even anybody that came with beings like.

0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, niggas is animals, Chris mean free all sparks. Niggas

0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:47.280
<v Speaker 2>was animals. The Niggas was dogs. Yeah, but that's what

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean. Like when you hear being say still shop

0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:51.840
<v Speaker 2>and still, that's the fact.

0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:52.040
<v Speaker 4>Bro.

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.160
<v Speaker 1>He was in that studio putting in pain. And if

0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:55.480
<v Speaker 1>you didn't.

0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:59.840
<v Speaker 2>It's sad to say, but real talk, if you didn't

0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.680
<v Speaker 2>really put in that pressure, you didn't get those studio times.

0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Remember it's only two rooms in baseline A and b room.

0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:08.960
<v Speaker 2>J had the A room all day. So we fought

0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:11.000
<v Speaker 2>for that b room and that b room. You wasn't

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.040

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:36.560
<v Speaker 4>better hustler. You know, that's just just the right way,

0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:37.440
<v Speaker 4>the correct.

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Way you doing it. I could say out a lot

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:40.320
<v Speaker 1>of the young artists.

0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:43.480
<v Speaker 2>You one of the first I see showing you investing

0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:45.719
<v Speaker 2>because I remember when you first posted you bought a building.

0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:48.639
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm like, that's how you do it, you

0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:51.600
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, that's how you do it. That's

0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:55.119
<v Speaker 2>the play to go. Like real estate, it's three things

0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:57.800
<v Speaker 2>that you are never losing in the world that's always needed.

0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Food, real estate, clothing. For sure, there's three things people

0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:03.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna need to the day they die.

0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:07.120
<v Speaker 2>So you get the right building, you serve the right recipe,

0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:08.240
<v Speaker 2>you get the right clothing.

0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:12.280
<v Speaker 4>It's over in the song like Things I've Been Through.

0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 4>It's a song called Things I've Been Through. He said

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:16.159
<v Speaker 4>a line like, once they let you in, you're supposed

0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:18.639
<v Speaker 4>to keep though I can't give you the formula and

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:20.919
<v Speaker 4>morning though, that line right there is stuck with me.

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:21.119
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:23.400
<v Speaker 4>On once they let you in a little bit, once

<v Speaker 4>what I mean, You're supposed to keep it after that.

0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:28.480
<v Speaker 1>That's a fact, man, that's just my model.

0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:32.520

<v Speaker 4>I see people come and go, you know, I see

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.320
<v Speaker 4>people come and go. So with that being said, you

0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:48.320
<v Speaker 4>know you stay patient. Your time gonna come eventually, I

0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:51.160
<v Speaker 4>see mad people. Time come, whether it's you know, whether

<v Speaker 4>it's late, whether it's early, Your time gonna come.

0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:54.840
<v Speaker 3>Patient and be ready.

0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, projects like that Al Barrio three joint, you know

0:21:59.080 --> 0:21:59.440
<v Speaker 2>what I mean.

0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:02.000
<v Speaker 1>How that's the latest joint you say you drop? That

0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:03.000
<v Speaker 1>shows growth?

0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:06.840
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean? Perspective? What are your most

0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:10.280
<v Speaker 2>focused on? What are you most focused on at this

0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:13.720
<v Speaker 2>point in your career? Like where you want the music

0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:15.359
<v Speaker 2>to take you now?

0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:20.360
<v Speaker 3>You know, like right now, I want I want I want.

0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:22.720
<v Speaker 4>The music to just for I can say it like this,

0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:25.080
<v Speaker 4>right now, the music probably like just a little hobby

0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:27.359
<v Speaker 4>for me now, you know what I'm saying. It's still

0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:29.199
<v Speaker 4>like business. I still love it. I still put my

0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:32.359
<v Speaker 4>old into it. But I'm just my mind just so open.

0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:34.920
<v Speaker 4>It's so many different things because you know, social media

0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:37.879
<v Speaker 4>just you know, they introduce you to a lot different

0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:40.520
<v Speaker 4>ways to get to the bag, different ways to rebrand yourself.

0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:44.080
<v Speaker 4>So you know, I can't just fully be focused on

0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:46.560
<v Speaker 4>one thing. You know, just as an entrepreneur, you never

0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:49.280
<v Speaker 4>fully focused on one thing. So the music is just

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:51.119
<v Speaker 4>one of many things you know that I that I

0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:52.399
<v Speaker 4>love to do and I'm good.

0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:53.720
<v Speaker 1>At New York.

0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Like where we rank New York hip hop right now?

0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Man in the world, you know what I mean? Of course,

0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:05.119
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta doing anything. You got the West Coast been doing anything.

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:08.400
<v Speaker 2>The South been in Miami, the South, Atlanta, you got

0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Saint Louis. Everybody been putting pressure Memphis right now. What

0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:15.359
<v Speaker 2>you think New York got on that stef Man ship.

0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:18.119
<v Speaker 4>Man, I say, if it wasn't for niggas like me,

0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:22.080
<v Speaker 4>like this should have be finished, That's what I say.

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:24.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm respectfully though, you know what I mean. I just

0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:27.199
<v Speaker 4>feel like, you know, this should change niggas. Niggas turn

0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:29.960
<v Speaker 4>into groupies, you know, like dick riders and sh like that.

0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:33.600
<v Speaker 3>For real. I'm being honest though, Yeah, not real shit though.

0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:35.160
<v Speaker 4>I just feel like, you know, the way this ship

0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:37.320
<v Speaker 4>going and niggas be deevers, you know what.

0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:39.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Like that's a fact.

0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:40.840
<v Speaker 3>It ain't too many years, bro.

0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:42.720
<v Speaker 1>You can't ad to come before the bag.

0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:45.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I can't say too much good things about it,

0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:47.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, like like even like the old g's and ship,

0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:49.919
<v Speaker 4>you know, they they kind of stepping away from it

0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:51.960
<v Speaker 4>and getting in the podcasting. If you looking at you know,

0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:54.639
<v Speaker 4>all the big dogs and ship everybody, a lot of people.

0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:57.199
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't know he brought me into this ship, don't know, Yo,

0:23:57.520 --> 0:23:58.959
<v Speaker 2>niggas gassed me up to do this.

0:23:59.160 --> 0:24:02.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't think no, no, no, no, you know, I don't me.

0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:03.880
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't even sit down with you if I felt

0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:04.560
<v Speaker 3>like that about you.

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:07.840
<v Speaker 2>With you, with you, but just for that, niggas out

0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:09.160
<v Speaker 2>that that's still a burn yard.

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:10.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, you're not real shit though.

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:13.920
<v Speaker 4>But I just feel like, you know, like even even

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:16.679
<v Speaker 4>even though G's kind of washed their hands with this

0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:18.080
<v Speaker 4>ship a little bit, you know what I'm saying.

0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:20.800
<v Speaker 2>I think it's the politics of it. While we're not

0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:23.639
<v Speaker 2>the not the love of the music. I just feel

0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:25.639
<v Speaker 2>like me from a New York person, I think we

0:24:25.720 --> 0:24:28.480
<v Speaker 2>lost our identity, you know what I mean, Like a

0:24:28.520 --> 0:24:32.080
<v Speaker 2>lot of New Yorkers, I be like, you're from no Way,

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:34.880
<v Speaker 2>no Way, You're from Nigga like world, You're from over here,

0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:38.439
<v Speaker 2>like fucking lion. So that's what I think it is,

0:24:38.480 --> 0:24:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Like we lost our identity. We fell in love with

0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 2>just one sound, and you know, the drill music.

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I fuck with all the drill shit

0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:51.200
<v Speaker 1>that ship, don't you know? It don't fill up around.

0:24:51.600 --> 0:24:53.560
<v Speaker 4>Look, I gotta, I gotta. I got a thousand little

0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:55.920
<v Speaker 4>bit from my block. That dude drill right well that

0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:59.080
<v Speaker 4>I'll be telling them though, right, Like, see, I can't

0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 4>promote the ship, you feel me, because that'd be that'd

0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:04.000
<v Speaker 4>be me, you know, being a hypocrite.

0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:05.720
<v Speaker 3>You know what I could do. I could pay for

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:07.280
<v Speaker 3>the studio though, that's right, you know what I mean.

0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:09.280
<v Speaker 4>I could put you in there. But I can't. I can't.

0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:11.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm not promoting that ship, but I pay for the studio. Yeah,

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:14.600
<v Speaker 4>but you know what I'm saying. But why drill? Why list?

0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:15.600
<v Speaker 1>That's what they know.

0:25:15.560 --> 0:25:17.679
<v Speaker 3>How to do. I just look at that. I like

0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:18.240
<v Speaker 3>that style.

0:25:18.440 --> 0:25:21.040
<v Speaker 1>I like the style of the music. But why gotta

0:25:21.119 --> 0:25:22.760
<v Speaker 1>be an actual crime?

0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Like why it can't be your such split a hot verse?

0:25:28.720 --> 0:25:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Why gotta be an actual move he did for it

0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:38.119
<v Speaker 2>to be drilled, that's without my old braincare process of

0:25:38.280 --> 0:25:41.280
<v Speaker 2>the young boys that it had. It. Like if I

0:25:41.320 --> 0:25:44.480
<v Speaker 2>go into crib right now, just right, a rhyme over

0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:49.280
<v Speaker 2>a drill beat, it's not drilled unless I really did it.

0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:51.199
<v Speaker 4>So I'm saying, look back in the days, back in

0:25:51.200 --> 0:25:54.280
<v Speaker 4>the days, right look, you're saying niggas wasn't really rapping

0:25:54.320 --> 0:25:54.680
<v Speaker 4>what they.

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Was, No, we were selling drugs.

0:25:56.400 --> 0:26:00.400
<v Speaker 2>When you hear me say blue tops, yellow tops, yeah,

0:26:01.040 --> 0:26:05.200
<v Speaker 2>thirty four tajma holes. I took crackheads id the first

0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:05.719
<v Speaker 2>and fifty.

0:26:05.800 --> 0:26:06.919
<v Speaker 1>That's all fat.

0:26:07.760 --> 0:26:12.119
<v Speaker 2>But you didn't have to say that for it to

0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:15.480
<v Speaker 2>be considered rap. This is what I'm saying. That was

0:26:15.560 --> 0:26:18.840
<v Speaker 2>just me expressing my life today. I feel like, if

0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:23.159
<v Speaker 2>it's not a real crime, it's not drill. If I

0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:25.760
<v Speaker 2>ain't smoking on you in the pack for real, like

0:26:25.880 --> 0:26:29.640
<v Speaker 2>you in the air, it's not drill. I just want

0:26:29.640 --> 0:26:33.200
<v Speaker 2>to know why why nigga just can't make that hypothetical.

0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:37.720
<v Speaker 2>He's spinning and he really never spun and be lick.

0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:40.320
<v Speaker 4>Niggas ain't having that, ain't having that.

0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Like the fake drill, it's no fake hip hop unless

0:26:49.640 --> 0:26:51.760
<v Speaker 2>you just don't know your your you know what I mean,

0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:54.760
<v Speaker 2>the ancestry, Like you don't know the history of hip

0:26:54.760 --> 0:26:57.080
<v Speaker 2>hop and you just jumping and shit thinking, oh I'm

0:26:57.080 --> 0:27:00.280
<v Speaker 2>gonna get a bag real quick, then yeah, you fake it.

0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:03.040
<v Speaker 2>But you it's no way you're gonna learn how to

0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:04.680
<v Speaker 2>rhyme to a beat.

0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Make you know what I mean?

0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:09.840
<v Speaker 2>Poetry on paper in this and you consider it fake

0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:11.320
<v Speaker 2>like that shit.

0:27:11.240 --> 0:27:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Just don't make sense to me, Like shit, you know

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:14.120
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying.

0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Like that's where I feel like we losing our creativity,

0:27:18.119 --> 0:27:20.920
<v Speaker 2>like it has to be real for that to be real,

0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:22.600
<v Speaker 2>we losing our artists.

0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:26.760
<v Speaker 1>You nigga's going to jail to day. What's the latest record?

0:27:27.040 --> 0:27:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Then this crime just happened that this shit just came

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:32.240
<v Speaker 2>up on my fucking what's the on my app?

0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Citizens shit just popped.

0:27:34.160 --> 0:27:36.360
<v Speaker 3>Up and he rapped about it.

0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Go get now we don't get another record, and now

0:27:40.359 --> 0:27:42.480
<v Speaker 2>it's no more music real shit.

0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:45.480
<v Speaker 4>So I'll be telling I'll be telling him though, I

0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:47.159
<v Speaker 4>tell him that shit all the time. That's that's my

0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:49.639
<v Speaker 4>position in this ship now though, you know, is to

0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:51.480
<v Speaker 4>get a game. You know that's just gonna listen to

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:52.720
<v Speaker 4>it or now. But I did my part.

0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:55.440
<v Speaker 2>But one thing about that, you are young boy, So

0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:59.439
<v Speaker 2>it's like it's kind of hard to look another nigga

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:02.880
<v Speaker 2>the same ages you and I and give him game

0:28:02.960 --> 0:28:07.880
<v Speaker 2>because I'm not gonna lie back and I'm putting myself

0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:12.159
<v Speaker 2>now back in the day, little bleak. I'm in the stool,

0:28:13.160 --> 0:28:17.480
<v Speaker 2>beans or freeway. Anybody like, Yo, you're willing you shouldn't

0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:19.439
<v Speaker 2>be going to the club like that, you're sure you

0:28:19.440 --> 0:28:22.480
<v Speaker 2>should be doing. I'll be looking at niggas like you

0:28:22.640 --> 0:28:23.400
<v Speaker 2>don't get.

0:28:23.200 --> 0:28:27.920
<v Speaker 4>The fuck out right right.

0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:29.359
<v Speaker 1>But that's just natural because you're the same age of

0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:30.240
<v Speaker 1>the older niggas.

0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Say a nigga gonna be like they're not maybe maybe

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:37.920
<v Speaker 2>then Back then, no, you knew. It wasn't no squares

0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:44.520
<v Speaker 2>like that's the thing today, right, everybody look alike. When

0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:48.200
<v Speaker 2>I was a shorty, it were groups of people. There

0:28:48.400 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 2>was the backpack kids that you know what I mean,

0:28:51.840 --> 0:28:55.480
<v Speaker 2>they hung out, did they skateboard thing, wild out doing

0:28:55.600 --> 0:28:58.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, on some break dancing ship doing that. You

0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:01.320
<v Speaker 2>had the graffiti niggas who was on that spray can shit.

0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 2>You had the drug dealers, you had the niggas. It

0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:06.320
<v Speaker 2>was a style that don't even exist no more.

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:09.160
<v Speaker 1>It ain't even know GQ niggas out here where they at.

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Because I wanted to be a GQ nigga back then,

0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:14.120
<v Speaker 2>but my moms ain't no bread to get the polo

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:16.360
<v Speaker 2>boots and shit, so I had to be a street nigga.

0:29:16.680 --> 0:29:17.479
<v Speaker 1>Couldn't be GQ.

0:29:18.000 --> 0:29:19.960
<v Speaker 2>But that's what I'm saying. You had dumb niggas, the

0:29:20.040 --> 0:29:23.719
<v Speaker 2>fly pretty boy niggas. You had the basketball niggas, you

0:29:23.760 --> 0:29:26.360
<v Speaker 2>had the rapping niggas. Then you had the nigg back

0:29:26.360 --> 0:29:28.400
<v Speaker 2>in the days for some reason. See they don't exist

0:29:28.440 --> 0:29:31.120
<v Speaker 2>in your era. You even had ninjas. It was a

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:34.160
<v Speaker 2>group of niggas that walked the fence, wore open toe

0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:36.520
<v Speaker 2>shoes through ninja stars.

0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Nigga.

0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:40.240
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to be a ninja too. We was outside,

0:29:40.240 --> 0:29:43.640
<v Speaker 2>but it was groups of different shit. Now everybody just

0:29:43.680 --> 0:29:46.160
<v Speaker 2>blended in one pair. Kasubi's or.

0:29:47.680 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 1>And so on. Nigga throw fitted on.

0:29:49.960 --> 0:29:53.560
<v Speaker 2>You don't know what he into this nigga be a painter,

0:29:53.680 --> 0:29:59.000
<v Speaker 2>but he looked like he trapping yo straight up back

0:29:59.040 --> 0:30:01.560
<v Speaker 2>though everybody looked the same, so that it is no

0:30:02.000 --> 0:30:05.480
<v Speaker 2>identity anymore. I feel like that's where we gotta fix it.

0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Like it's cool to be cool. So when you're giving

0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:11.479
<v Speaker 2>this game to these young boys, I feel like they

0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 2>looking at you like you in the same position as me.

0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:16.960
<v Speaker 2>For you to be a young boy, to give game

0:30:17.040 --> 0:30:19.200
<v Speaker 2>the young boys, you gotta stand on the block that's

0:30:19.280 --> 0:30:22.320
<v Speaker 2>higher than the block they on. You know, it's like

0:30:22.400 --> 0:30:25.760
<v Speaker 2>preaching from the podium. You know, you can't preach from

0:30:25.800 --> 0:30:28.440
<v Speaker 2>the from eye level. They ain't gonna listen. You gotta

0:30:28.520 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 2>be higher and the ship you're doing. You see what

0:30:30.520 --> 0:30:32.320
<v Speaker 2>you say, I'm opening up a juice bar. I bought

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 2>a four story building and I got a building in Harlem.

0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Like that's how you lead by example, my nigga, because

0:30:39.560 --> 0:30:41.600
<v Speaker 2>a lot of niggas lead with this and they ain't

0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:44.120
<v Speaker 2>never so to give.

0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Out game and still have accomplishments. That's the fact. That's

0:30:47.520 --> 0:30:48.760
<v Speaker 1>what these kids need to see.

0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:51.520
<v Speaker 2>They need to see results because niggas will tell you

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:53.440
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of shit, but then it's like, what did

0:30:53.480 --> 0:30:55.840
<v Speaker 2>you do with this information you just gave me?

0:30:57.120 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 1>You still broke nigga out of my face, you know

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:00.800
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying.

0:31:00.840 --> 0:31:03.760
<v Speaker 2>So when you say a lot of the ogs ain't given,

0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:06.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the og still trying to fix day mistakes.

0:31:07.320 --> 0:31:07.960
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying.

0:31:08.040 --> 0:31:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Niggas ain't Niggas ain't the eighties like niggas did they thing,

0:31:10.920 --> 0:31:13.360
<v Speaker 2>but niggas thought that she was gonna last forever. You

0:31:13.360 --> 0:31:15.240
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm saying. A lot of niggas ain't prepared

0:31:15.240 --> 0:31:16.160
<v Speaker 2>for today.

0:31:16.360 --> 0:31:16.960
<v Speaker 3>That's a fact.

0:31:17.920 --> 0:31:21.000
<v Speaker 2>And so everybody trying to find their way and it's

0:31:21.080 --> 0:31:24.840
<v Speaker 2>like you just gotta identify what you want and what

0:31:24.880 --> 0:31:29.080
<v Speaker 2>you are and get it. That's my game that anybody old, young,

0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:34.120
<v Speaker 2>fugging eighty ninety's never too late to figure out your lane,

0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:39.280
<v Speaker 2>and your lane's definitely this type of platform.

0:31:38.760 --> 0:31:39.400
<v Speaker 1>That I built.

0:31:39.440 --> 0:31:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Like I see it's we're hearing you talk the way

0:31:42.960 --> 0:31:46.840
<v Speaker 2>you talk, because it took me twenty thirty years to

0:31:46.920 --> 0:31:47.600
<v Speaker 2>talk like that.

0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:51.920
<v Speaker 1>You talking like this already, young. I was forty five

0:31:52.040 --> 0:31:52.680
<v Speaker 1>when I got it.

<v Speaker 2>When I realized, but I said, it's never too late.

0:31:55.720 --> 0:31:57.840

<v Speaker 4>going crazy, you know, the game wide open.

<v Speaker 2>I think it's the you know, it's the thing niggas say, yo,

0:34:15.440 --> 0:34:19.640
<v Speaker 2>the gatekeepers. I think niggas rely too much on radio.

0:34:20.280 --> 0:34:25.359
<v Speaker 2>With radio don't dictate the movements anymore. Like think about it, right,

0:34:26.600 --> 0:34:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Benny the Butcher, west Side Gun, all of them niggas,

0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:34.160
<v Speaker 2>the whole Griselda them niggas on tour for six months,

0:34:34.200 --> 0:34:35.279
<v Speaker 2>three months at a time.

0:34:35.320 --> 0:34:38.440
<v Speaker 1>I never heard one record on the radio, right you

0:34:38.480 --> 0:34:38.960
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean?

0:34:39.600 --> 0:34:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Smoke Thiszle on tour. I never heard the record on

0:34:42.080 --> 0:34:49.120
<v Speaker 2>the radio. Fucking what's my man? Rock Marciano. Niggas consider

0:34:49.239 --> 0:34:51.879
<v Speaker 2>him the guard of the shit. Never heard the record

0:34:51.960 --> 0:34:54.800
<v Speaker 2>on the radio. Like I literally, these people, I gotta

0:34:54.840 --> 0:34:58.600
<v Speaker 2>go and type their name in and hear their music

0:34:58.960 --> 0:34:59.480
<v Speaker 2>and it's.

0:34:59.360 --> 0:35:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Like, okay, this that ship right here, you know what

0:35:01.480 --> 0:35:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying.

0:35:02.560 --> 0:35:07.040
<v Speaker 2>So with that being said, Bro, it's nobody in New

<v Speaker 2>York that's gonna push you through with you. You know

0:35:10.760 --> 0:35:13.319
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying, There's no person that can do that shit.

0:35:13.400 --> 0:35:16.840
<v Speaker 2>You know what's gonna do it consistency what you're doing,

0:35:17.200 --> 0:35:19.520
<v Speaker 2>and heat that's undeniable.

0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:22.960
<v Speaker 4>My nigga, we understand that ship now, we had no choice.

0:35:23.000 --> 0:35:26.960
<v Speaker 4>But basically, what I'm trying to say is why nigga
